My MP3 player is on the blink, so this morning I was forced to listen to an old analogue radio during a walk. R4 was on, and Jeremy Hunt was being interviewed about the news that many people may be dying from the NHS making errors wrt patients' drugs.
This is a very serious and emotive issue, and he played an utterly straight bat against an interviewer who was trying somewhat desperately to make him say something that would be a story on the issue (in the end, they went with an EU quote).
I've never particularly rated him, or complimented him on here, but he handled the interview about drug errors very well. He seemed to know what he was talking about, was not keen to put the blame down to one 'easy' factor, and was calm and focused.
He was impressive. He may not be PM material, but that interview showed some aspects of what we need a PM to be.
(Or perhaps it was the fact I was walking towards Stowe School, and therefore I was more receptive to posh boys).

On another totally random point: I've passed two public schools in the last week whilst walking, and both had very visible security guards by their entrances. I swear I've not seen this before, either at my schools or anywhere else. Is this a new thing?

... Think tank the Quillam Foundation, which focuses on counter-extremism, said 84% of the 264 offenders convicted of grooming between 2005 and 2017 were of south Asian heritage.
Mr Spicer said the perpetrator he spoke to "displayed no regret" and "spoke in a derogatory manner about a lack of morals in British girls".
Odd that they have no problem with their own morals - being molesters, rapists, abusers, etc.
Other peoples's morals are obviously more important ...
What they mean by "lack of morals" is "not Muslim". I grew up in the Muslim community. While most Muslims are decent, kind-hearted people, there is an Islam nationalistic subset that regards non-Muslim girls as "kuffar scum". They do not dress modestly, showing their arms, legs, hair etc so deserve what they get. Often they will justify it by referring to how non-Muslim women were treated as sex slaves under the Rashidun Caliphs.
I had never heard of the Rashidun Caliphs so I googled it. 632 - 611 AD????
That is their model of behaviour in the modern world? They need to wise up.
Having said, some christian sects and group could do with modernising too..
The taxation policy of the Rashidun Caliphs sounds very similar to John McDonnell's:
Zakāt (زكاة) is the Islamic concept of luxury tax. It was taken from the Muslims in the amount of 2.5% of their dormant wealth (over a certain amount unused for a year) to give to the poor. Only persons whose annual wealth exceeded a minimum level (nisab) were collected from. The nisab does not include primary residence, primary transportation, moderate amount of woven jewelry, etc ... Kharaj was a tax on agricultural land. ... Ushr was a reciprocal 10% levy on agricultural land as well as merchandise imported from states that taxed the Muslims on their products.
I’ve paid the Zakāt ever year since I was 22.
My mother insists on it.
Diacritics over words transliterated into English, a language with no diacritics.
When did this become OK? It makes no sense to me.
How do you mean, transliterated into English? The word remains an Arabic word, and what it is transliterated into is the Roman alphabet. Where does English come in to it?
She is really dreaming if she thinks the Tories are preparing for Government , or else the Tories are more barking than I thought they were. Only preparations they take are as pocket fillers and sock puppets.

What's an MP3 player?
It's a cheap device that can be worn on my coat at all times, in all weathers, in the safe knowledge that if it gets damaged it doesn't matter. Compare and contrast with a friend, who is on his third new phone in a year - the previous two all having got ruined whilst out running. And all he does with it is listen to music.
This brings me onto one of my bugbears: as the technology progresses, it's getting less usable. I need an MP3 player with AA or AAA batteries, and nearly all the decent ones seem to have rechargeabes - which are of no use to me whilst I'm out on a trip. Whereas we could have an FM radio that ran for days off a battery, we now use a phone to get radio via t'Internet and it lasts only a few hours.
Mr. Jessop, that's a very good point on technology becoming more advanced but not necessarily doing the job better (and sometimes doing it worse). It reminds me of Kira explaining to Damar[sp] about why she preferred the rugged but simpler Cardassian guns to Federation phaser rifles.

There are guards outside the only local comprehensive school I pass occasionally.

I was teasing. I actually fully agree. I have a really old iCrap shuffle which I use in the gym.

We're heading towards jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none territory with tech. One device that does everything - make calls, go on t'Internet, make payments, take photos - but does none of them very well.
Mr. Jessop, I have vague memories from some survival guide or other warning against that sort of thing when it came to knives with compasses and whatnot in the handles. A knife that is just a knife is the best knife, apparently.
As an aside, I have a camera, but, then, I don't have a mobile telephone.

Just say it was a bit of BDSM gone wrong with a forgotten safe word.

Anyway, what do they expect from an Ulster Prod?
